CASE 1 - The stolen corpse
14th September 2035,
Chennai - Tamil Nadu.
Man accused of stealing corpses from graves and morgues of various infirmaries was arrested by CCPF (Chennai City Police Force) in his hideout located near KMC keelpauk. This unidentified man was caught in the surveillance camera fixed by CCPF in the morgue and upon investigation was spotted near KMC. Last night, a team of 6 cops surrounded the hideout and the man was arrested. CCPF is yet to release the identity of accused. According to sources, various witnesses had reported a man stealing corpses and as the reporting increased day by day, CCPF was alerted and led to the capture of fugitive. This sensational issue may be a rare case of cannibalism, which is not common in a well developed country like India. For live updates, visit our official website.
The whole population of Tamilnadu was stirred by this news. A little unpleasant sense was spread in the air. People did not want a cannibal among them. However, they were curious to learn more about the case even though it was unpleasant.
This case was handed over to Andrew Sullivan I.P.S. who was very famous for his clever deeds in solving many mysterious cases. Cases which were declared unsolvable were solved after he took charge. He was a hero among the people as his deeds were as seen in thriller movies.
The fugitive was placed in grade A surveillance cell. He was brought for investigation. The investigation cell was fully monitored and secured by armed sentries. He was a man in his forties, at least 6 feet tall, well built and he had long dark brown hair. He looked well educated and of course so cool. He dint seem a bit frightened. He was seated in a chair with a table in front of him. Andrew entered the investigation cell. He sat on the chair opposite to the fugitive and took the record from the table. It read Michael Steven, age 44, born in a village near Tirunelveli Tamilnadu, completed M.B.B.S in the year 2013. A medical fugitive, Andrew thought.
"Mr. Michael, I am Andrew Sullivan. I am here to investigate you regarding the accusations placed on you."
"I know you very well, of course the whole nation knows who you are. I was very much impressed by the way you solved the "twin sisters massacre". I feel proud to meet you, sir."
Andrew was a little surprised by such comments from the fugitive.
"Well Mr. Michael, you are accused of stealing corpses from various places. Do you agree?" Andrew asked straight to the point.
"I did not steal any corpse."
"But there is video evidence of you stealing a corpse." He showed the video in his smart phone.
Michael dressed in white uniform, carefully lifted a corpse wrapped in white cloth, placed it on a stretcher and walked casually out. The morgue guard was sedated by some sort of anesthesia. When cops showed Michael's photo to the guard, he was unable to recognize him. It was a mystery how he managed to sedate the guard.
Michael watched the video without any reaction.
"What do you say for that Mr. Michael?"
"I there any complaints filed against me regarding missing corpses by any of the relatives?"
"So far, No"
Michael stretched his hands like Jesus Christ in a gesture like as if the case is solved.
"I did not steal that corpse Mr. Andrew"
"Whatever. What did you do with the corpse."
Michael remained silent.
"Don't make it hard for me Michael. You'll regret it."
Silence.
"You must me selling the organs. Being a doctor, you know the value of organs aren't you?"
Silence.
"Or, as idealized by media and people, you are a cannibal. But you don't look like you are interested in tasting human flesh. If so, i am curious to know how it tastes."
Silence.
"Your silence will not help you. Unless the corpses are found, you are finished Michael."
Michael smiled and said "Soon you will find sir"
Media was swarming in front of Michael's house. The house was owned by him and the neighbors acknowledged him as a decent man. He was married and his wife was dead, had no children. Since his wife's death, he lived alone. His house was fully barricaded and forensics specialists were recording the evidences.
As Andrew entered the scene, the local area inspector reported to him.
"The house looks very normal sir, no clues were found so far. No traces of any corpse sir."
"Isn't it weird that no one had reported yet for missing corpse and we have only reports of witnessing the stealing? Did you identify the missing corpse? Any relatives had communicated so far?"
"The corpse is of a woman named Megha. She died in an accident. Her father is industrialist Mr.Amir. enquiry is going on with him, sir."
Listening, Andrew walked into the house.
There was utterly no clue left in the house. Everything was normal. But there was one thing which caught his mind. There was an extraordinary aroma on the air. It was so pleasant and his olfactory organ had never sensed such a beautiful scent so far in his life. When he tried to find the source of the aroma, he couldn’t trace it which made him feel that something was wrong about the scent. He was startled by the call of a sentry from behind.
“Sir…Could you please come here?”
Andrew turned and walked towards where the voice came from. A sentry in his khaki uniform was standing. He pointed a wooden door on the floor, half unveiled by the carpet above. A cord was tied to the door to serve as handle. It was shut tightly as when he pulled the cord, it did not open.
After few minutes, a carpenter was brought by the cops to open the door. The floor was concrete except the door engraved in it. There was no keyhole on the door. After about an hour’s labor, the carpenter said that the door can be opened now and admitted that he was afraid to open as he smelled a strange aroma and left the place immediately without even claiming the money. It was around 9 P.M.
The team who arrested Michael was still in the house and they all stood around the wooden door. Each of them had a bit of hesitation as they were not aware of what lies beneath the mysterious door.
Andrew knelt down and pulled the cord and now the door opened easily without much effort. A sudden concentrated aroma rushed in the nostrils of the men. It was very highly concentrated that they could not breathe. The heavy scent was mesmerizing but intolerable. The men masked their nostrils with their kerchiefs. It was so dark beneath. The light from the room filled only to an extent which illuminated the top of a ladder placed against the wall below. He couldn’t guess how much deep it goes.
Andrew took a torch and started climbing down the ladder. In his descend he saw candles placed in slits made on wall. All the candles were red and the girth was around 2 inch dia. He called out to the man about to descend next and said him to light the candles as he descends.
He felt like entering an ancient tomb. After around 10 minutes, his feet touched the floor. He looked above and the candles were illuminating the whole passage. Two other men climbed behind him.
There was a room with a heavy automatic door and was dark too. It was written “The end begins here" on the door. He signaled the two men to wait oust side and went in. The door automatically shut behind him and his hear
t started beating a little bit faster. He searched for candles with his torch, but couldn’t find any. He found a switch instead and he pressed it. He waited for some light to illuminate the room. The aroma pierced through his kerchief and tickled his inner organs. After a minute, a slight flicker of a tube light was noticed at a distance. And it was followed by many other tube lights. The room was enormous in size. The lights were made dimmer by engraving it behind frost glass fixed on the roof. It took around 3 minutes for all the lights to illuminate. There were around 50 lights in the room. Breathing was difficult inside as there was utterly no air inside the room. It was extremely dry. And the next sight he saw stunned him and made his hair wanted to pluck out from the skin. Fear overwhelmed his courage and he started shivering. He ran out the door and fainted near the ladder due to lack of sufficient oxygen.
“This must be confidential. Be sure that the press does not know about this until the place is fully taken over by forensics people. You guys understand what I said?” Andrew asked the team.
“Yes sir”
Meanwhile a sentry came in and informed that the exhaust fans had arrived. Security was tightened around the house. The exhaust fans were lowered through the door and air circulation was enabled in the underground. The automatic door was held
